DOOR-STOP.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN VILLIAM BUOY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Eugene, in the county of Lane and State of Oregon, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Improved Door-Stops, ofwhich the following is a specification, ref erence being had to theaccompanying drawin s.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in doorstops, and the object of the invention is to generally improve,simplify, and lessen the cost of manufacture of devices of this type.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the invention, Fig. 2is a bottom plan view of the casing, Fig. 3 is an end elevation, Fig. 4is a vertical sectional view, Fig. 5 is a front elevation showing thecover plate removed, Fig. 6 is an end elevation of a door jamb equippedwith the present invention, and Fig. 7 is a fragmentary side elevationof Fig. 7. Fig. 8 is a fragmentary perspective view of one end of thedevice, the spring being omitted.

The casing is designated 5 in the drawings and has eachend thereofformed at its top with an inturned portion forming lips it. The bottomof the casing is formed with slits which divide the same into threeparts, the central one 9, of which occupies the position shown in Fig. 5of the drawings, while the end parts f, are bent upwardly at rightangles to form pockets in conjunction with the adjacent casing ends, forthe reception of the coil springs e. The cover plate, a, is formed withslots to' receive lugs 7' formed on the sides of the ends of casing band has flanges at its bottom which are received in the spaces betweenthe bottoms of the spring pockets and the central part 9 of the casing6.

The plunger consists of a frame d, of U- shape in cross section, inwhich frame the rubber cushion c is held. The ends of the base of theU-shaped frame (Z, are bent downwardly to form guides 2', whichslidingly engage the inner faces of the casing ends, as depicted in Fig.5. The lips h, engage the base of the frame (Z, at the ends thereof, and

act as stops to restrict the outward movement of the plunger against theaction of the springs e.

As illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7 the device is inserted in the edge ofthe door amb in such position as will cause the door to engage therubber cushion 0, thereby obviously absorbing the shock, incident tocontact of the door and amb, permitting the door to close with lessnoise than otherwise.

What is claimed is:

1. In a door stop, a casing having the outer extremities of its endsbent inwardly to form stops, the bottom of the casing being slitted toform two end parts which are bent inwardly to form pockets inconjunction with the adjacent ends of the casing, a coil spring in eachof said pockets, a plunger having a frame of U-shape in cross section, arubber cushion in said frame, the ends of the base of said plunger framebeing bent outwardly to formguides which slidingly engage the innerfaces of the casing ends, said stops engaging the ends of the base ofsaid frame to restrict the outward movement thereof, and a cover platefor the casing.

2. In a door stop, a casing having the outer extremities of'its endsbent inwardly to form stops, a plunger having a frame of U-shape incross section, a rubber cushion in said frame, the ends of the base ofthe frame being bent outwardly and forming guides which slidingly engagethe ends of the casing, and spring means on the casing interior engagingsaid plunger frame.

3. In a door stop, a casing having portions of its bottom slitted andthe slitted parts bent upwardly to form pockets in conjunction with theadjacent ends of the casing, a coil spring in each pocket, and a plungerslidingly engaged in the casing and being engaged by said springs.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence oftwo witnesses.
